When the other two organisations were in - the Charities Regulator and the housing regulator - I brought up that there is no oversight of the county councils for the funding they are given. At the end of the day, it is probably all coming from central government and equates to more than 50%. Through the Department, and Mr. Kelly might answer this, why is the C and AG not regulating the books if more than 50% is going between the councils and the Government's Central Fund? There is more than 50% of funding going out to Peter McVerry Trust.
